Are you losing yourself online?

This episode of The Glitch in My Brain explores the growing tension between your digital identity and your real self. I share why we start curating our lives, how that slowly shifts our sense of who we are, and what it takes to stay authentic — even while staying online.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from the person you’re performing as, this one’s for you.

🎙️ The Glitch in My Brain is a weekly podcast for tech-saturated minds and burned-out brains. New episodes every Monday.

It’s not that you’re lazy — it’s that your motivation’s being hijacked.

In this episode, I explore how dopamine works, how our devices exploit it, and why you can’t seem to care about the things that actually matter anymore.

This isn’t just a productivity hack. It’s a call to reclaim your drive — without deleting every app or pretending you’re a monk.

🔹 What dopamine really does (it’s not just about pleasure)
🔹 How tech trains your brain to chase pings, not progress
🔹 The 3 dopamine traps baked into modern life
🔹 How I rewired my habits and started winning offline

If you’ve been feeling stuck, scattered, or like your spark is gone — this one's for you.

Pause. Breathe. Reboot. You’ve got this.

A 30-minute deadline. A leadership escalation. And a pressure spiral that nearly broke me.
This episode dives into how I stay calm under pressure — using a 3-step mindset tool I call the “Emergency Triage Rule.”

You’ll learn how pressure hijacks your thinking, why reacting too fast can backfire, and how to contribute meaningfully without checking out or burning out.

If you’ve ever asked:

• “Why do I freeze when urgency hits?”

• “How do I stay calm when leadership is panicking?”

• “Can I respond without losing control?”

This one’s for you.

Topics in this episode:
✅ What pressure actually does to your brain
✅ The Emergency Triage Rule: Contain. Clarify. Contribute.
✅ How to stop overreacting and regain control
✅ Staying focused when everything’s on fire 🔥
